- Defragmentation
- Posted by Billjh on March 5th, 2006
I have a 80GB HD that is partitioned for backup purposes. I have always
defragged
C:// , but never my (PARTITIONED BACKUP) . What I have discovered is, this
partition in question is 85% fragmented out of 40GB's. My question is , what
can I do to correct or, if being used for backup purposes, does this make
much of a
big difference ?? OS HOME XP.
Thanks,
WJH

Fat32 or NTFS? If the latter, it won't help. Good luck, either way!

Dont wait till the drive gets fragmented severly, run defrags more
often. Get some third party tool and schedule it to run regularly,if
its a bother to do it manually.

On Saturday 04 March 2006 05:32 pm, do not spam had this to say in
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general:
Why would you care how fragmented that drive is when you only use it for
backup purposes? It's not like you are accessing the files on there vey
often and when you need to, so what if it takes a few ms longer to access?
